Shao Lin returned to the apartment, as she kept herself busy until night came.
She wore a pink lacy nightgown, reading a book, propped on the same bed she shared with Long Yat-sen.
It was past midnight when she watched as her husband entered the room, surprised to see her awake. "I thought you'd be asleep," he said to her.
"Where have you been?" Shao Lin questioned.
Long Yat-sen's eyes widened slightly. "I usually leave early in the mornings for work, and then I do not return until late at night."
Shao Lin glanced away, pouting. "We've only been married a day, and you were already too eager to leave my side?"
Long Yat-sen's face paled as he took steps toward her. "No," he began, panicked. "I didn't expect you to wait. I'm not…used to someone waiting up for me."
Shao Lin crossed her arms with a Hmph. "Well, then, get used to it."
